I finally figured out that even more than not wanting to go, she does not want to be perceived by my family as not wanting to go.

Non-participation is considered unacceptable and rude and I have seen the family turn on someone who doesn't show up.
Thinker's family perception of her matters. She wants to be accepted, valued and loved by Thinkers family. She feels rejected by them and Thinker is enabling/condoning it in her perception. She wants his support and validation of her feelings IMO.
